The 21 best football movies of all time
The countdown is on for the Super Bowl and for our list of the greatest gridiron films ever, including Jerry Maguire, Brian's Song, and yes, obviously Rudy
Film Features football
Sure, you can prep for Super Bowl Sunday like everybody else, by stocking up on seven-layer dip, nachos, wings, and overpriced microbrews. Or you can ready yourself the way film fans have been doing it for decades—by digging into Hollywood’s extensive catalog of football movies. Which is where The A.V. Club comes in, by providing you with a handy playbook to guide you through Hollywood’s greatest gridiron offerings. Our list of football films you need to know (and to watch, if you haven’t seen them) includes two titles starring Tom Cruise, a hilarious Adam Sandler comedy, a silent movie classic, and a ’7os TV movie that still makes grown men weep. So before you settle in to watch the actual game—and all those heavily hyped, high-priced commercials—spend some time with these cinematic trips to the end zone.

It’s almost like they just through the list together.
Controversial pick but I stand by you guys for making Air Bud 2: Golden Receiver #1.
The Replacements is a glaring omission.
Truth.And The Longest Yard should have been higher.
Hell yes, along with The Program.
For pure entertainment value, it’s hard to beat that one.
The Program not being on here is a crime
THANK YOU.
I clicked through this whole list getting hopeful that they rightly picked The Replacements first.
Concur. I love that movie!
I’m just gobsmacked.
This scene always gets me.
You’re absolutely right. I had been thinking this was a cheesy movie with just a good line or two but, dammit, this is a pretty good movie, and I’m not ashamed to say it!
Weird anecdote – I was wearing my Shane Falco jersey at Costco a couple of a years ago and a guy stopped me to say he was an extra for the football scenes. He showed me a picture of him and Keanu and said that he was one of the nicest, most accommodating people you’ll ever meet and was very generous with his time.
THERE ARE SHANE FALCO JERSEYS???(Not surprised even a little.)
I got mine at Lids Locker Room. They have a ton of movie and TV jerseys from various sports.
Appreciated!
Yeah. How the fuck do you make this list and not include The Replacements? It’s one of the best sports comedies ever.
The jail cell musical number is tops
What’s great about it is that it works. Something about that can very easily end up coming off as forced and cheesy, but it actually advanced the plot and added in some character development.
The Replacements is a crappy movie seeking to turn scabs into heroes.
MASH is almost a football movie, and it could have made this list.I feel this is the probably the only time I can mention on the internet that I went to high school with Vince Papale’s niece, and she was drop-dead gorgeous. Nice girl, actually, but I didn’t have a chance with her.
There is no chance in hell the AV Club is going to give that to a movie with a black QB named Spearchucker Jones in 2023. None
MASH is more of a football movie than Jerry Maguire.
No disrespect to ‘Rudy,’ but there is only one choice for “career-best performance from Sean Astin.”
Facing The Giants
What, no Varsity Blues???
I DON’T WANT YOUR LIFE!
I’m sorry, there’s not enough hackneyed country boy accent in your comment. I think it should be:Ah don’t waaant yo life
Okay I definitely was attaching that line to FNL. Oops!
Its more serious cousin, Friday Night Lights, should have been #1. One of my favorite travel stories is being on an early weekday flight that was like 90% businessmen. This was in the days when the in-flight entertainment was chosen for you, and Friday Night Lights was the pick. By the end you had 150 men pretending not to cry in their seats.
The movie is really underrated. Beautiful soundtrack too.
Arguably the best locker room speech in movie history.
Agree. I was hoping that would be on here.
I like to pretend Jon Voight is playing Bill Belichick in Varsity Blues and it’s an examination of the toxicity of coaching.
Couldn’t disagree more with Rudy being #1, but I know I’m in the minority so I can accept it. HOWEVER, how do you completely leave off Necessary Roughness?
I won’t agree that Necessary Roughness is a good movie, but I’m there with you for Rudy. I even went to Notre Dame and I can’t stand that film.
It’s not a good movie but it’s a fun movie that’s very elevated by the cast — you know almost exactly what’s going to happen and it doesn’t matter.Definitely should have been on this list.
“Be Silent, or you will anger me!” is the only line I remember from that movie.
“Andre does not eat red meat, because Andre is a vegetarian…”
Joe Montana wasn’t the biggest fan either and he was there, albeit a freshman. He says he was carried off the field as a prank and that no one was chanting his name. He did give Rudy credit for how hard he tried, but imagine being a hall of fame quarterback and always being asked about the kid who played a couple minutes of college ball.
Every time someone learns that I went to that school (didn’t love it, BTW), they almost immediately ask about Rudy. Both the movie and the person. Did I mention I hate that film?
I used to watch Rudy get the shit kicked out of him at practice before HS football games. Not the whole movie, not Rudy’s inspirational rise, just the ND Glee Club singing while Rudy gets murdered. Inspired me to similarly maul annoying little turds.
Rudy is fucking dogshit.
Rudy was a cop after that… and I could tell you stories. I was close to a cop, who was close to Rudy.
I don’t remember this whole movie being all that good, but it definitely had some very funny bits. And also Scott Bakula, which I am very much down for. Considering how deep they needed to go for some of the picks and how tangential football was to others, I’m not sure why they omitted any movies that were completely focussed on football.
If The Waterboy is going to be on here, then Necessary Roughness and The Replacements should clearly make the cut. They’re both far better.
Yes, The Replacements! Where is it?
Agreed.
Counterpoint: RUDEE! RUDEE! RUDEE! I was at the ND-BC game where they filmed the final football scenes at halftime. Sadly, I was sitting in the Boston College student section, and the game was supposed to be against Georgia Tech (black and gold colors), so my section (dressed in a lot of maroon and gold) did not make the final cut. They gave out fliers telling the crowd what was happening, but we had no idea who “Rudy” was and that it would actually turn into a real Hollywood movie, particularly an iconic one. I find it quite entertaining, but the factual liberties they took (especially the football team’s threatening to quit unless Ara plays Rudy) are a bit much. My vote goes to The Longest Yard (Burt version).
The coach Rudy’s senior year was Dan Devine, who was hurt that they made him look like a villain. In truth, he was very supportive of Ruettiger playing in the last home game. Ruettiger (who did a two year hitch in the Navy and worked at a power plant for two years after high school graduation) was dyslexic and had to work very hard to compensate. While a step or two slow and several inches too short to play D1 ball, he was a second team all state high school player as a running back and safety. He was also a relentless self-promoter. The film has its moments but isn’t as good a football film as The Longest Yard, North Dallas Forty, or Friday Night Lights.
You are correct on the Longest Yard but I really like Rudy. The actual Rudy was a bit of a badass in real life. Came from a big family of wrestlers. Started at middle linebacker for Joliet Catholic, who went undefeated his senior year. Joined the Navy for four years prior to enrolling at Holy Cross and then ND. Won the Bengal Bouts (Notre Dame’s intramural boxing tournament) and played football. I think he went like 5’9″ 230. Sean Austin he wasn’t.
You’re citing Necessary Roughness and that’s the image you select?? For shame.
Even better would have been that shot of her looking over her shoulder in the shower. There was no visible nudity, but, damn!
I know, I know. Even though I was thinking of Kathy, and I still hit publish and was like d’oh!
So why don’t we check in and see how Ms. Ireland is doing these days…Damn
No way I can take this list seriously when Necessary Roughness is not in the top 5. Peak Kathy Ireland straight up LAUNCHED puberty for me.
Rudy sucks.
Necessary Roughness or GTFO
Robert Loggia had a long and very impressive career, but when he passed away, the first thing I thought of was his halftime speech from Necessary Roughness. And then his equally batshit driving lesson from Lost Highway, and his Minute Maid commercial, et
Rudy is arguable, but Necessary Roughness isn’t a particularly good movie.
Where’s “The Last Boy Scout” is what I want to know.
And Wildcats
I still have fond memories of Gus. I probably shouldn’t watch it again if I want to keep them.
“Rudy” loses a lot when you learn that the chanting and him being carried off the field was mostly done in jest, and that he was more of a mascot to the team than an inspiration. Joe Montana, who was on that team, is pretty candid about it. Doesn’t stop ND from cashing in on it or using the story as a recruiting tool. (Of course, you need to use every advantage you have in college athletics, so by all means, build the myth.)I remember when “Any Given Sunday” came out that it was seen as extreme (NFL’s pushback was heavy), but time and more reporting on players post-football (concussions, pain management, etc.) has really made that movie more relevant. The popped-out eyeball scene is a bit much maybe, but such is Hollywood.
Also apparently the real Rudy became an asshole once he got famous.
Rudy is a completely how you look at it movie. If you want it to reflect real life it was a massive fail and maybe should not have glorified into a myth a real person where the actual story was way more prosaic.However, as a “movie” where real life does not matter, it is a fantastic movie and has a great message. So it really comes down to whether you mind movies completely doing the “based on a real story” thing and being VERY loose with the real story to tell a better story than reality.
rudy was a terrible pick for #1 (should be brians song or FNL), but seeing any given sunday in the top 5 is a worse sin. You take out all the slo-mos and that movies run time decreases by about 30m. Only movie I have ever walked out on.
Yeah, Any Given Sunday is a reasonably entertaining brain-dead Saturday afternoon movie, but in no way is it good.
The only thing I remember about Any Given Sunday is they rip a guy’s eye out in the end zone! And they just run out and pick it up and keep playing. It immediately crosses than line into self-parody . . . might as well rip off some arms while they’re at it.
The love for Any Given Sunday has always baffled me. The film is absurd, and not in the good way, and feels like a football movie for people who don’t like football. Outside of Pacino’s lockeroom speech, it’s something from Oliver Stone that pretty much sucks.
The biggest problem with Any Given Sunday is that it can’t decide whether it wants to criticize professional football or celebrate it.
I think you could say the same thing about lots of excellent movies and their subject matter. Football is fun — that’s why people watch it and people play it — and the idea of being rich, young, and having women throw themselves at you is obviously appealing. You’re not going to be able a movie criticizing football without, to some extent, also glamorizing it. Lots of excellent movies have this “problem.” If you watch Goodfellas, Casino, Boogie Nights, Fight Club, etc. you spend significant amounts of the movie thinking, “This looks fucking awesome!” Being tremendously irresponsible and doing whatever you want is bad, but also fun to watch.I also think we don’t necessarily want movies to have a clear “message.” When you watch Oppenheimer, are you supposed to think that Oppenheimer achieved something spectacular and important, or that he was blinded by ambition and did something terrible? Kind of both, right There’s a good movie to be made about football that both shows why football is cool and why it’s terrible. Any Given Sunday just isn’t it, because it’s stupid.
I once saw someone wearing a Willie Beaman jersey in real life, so someone enjoyed it.
The Replacements and Little Giants – two of my favorites – are missing. I would also argue Draft Day is better than many of these.
Little giants is amazing
Draft Day is very much a poorman’s Moneyball, BUT it wasn’t bad, and rare for a football movie to examine that side of the game. I would have been ok with it on the list.
And it has Downtown Griffy Newms as “Rick the Intern”
THE PROGRAM – 1993 – WAKE UP PHIL!!
Rudy sucks, Remember the Titans is #1, where the fuck is Necessary Roughness?
The Last Boy Scout started off with the greatest opening of a football game ever and ended at a Football game as well!
Friday night’s a great night for football!
Right??? It turns completely batshit crazy.And it’s got Dick Butkus.
It was so great, when I first saw it I was so shocked!
Good ol’ Billy Blanks shooting people
I’m not sure I’ve seen a worse list on here:The Replacements?Varsity Blues? The Express? Big Fan? I mean, hell, LITTLE GIANTS?!
Ooh, Big Fan was wonderful. Patton Oswalt was excellent in that. And when the script calls for “most obnoxious person in the known universe,” dammit, you have to go get Michael Rappaport.
Ah, The Express. Good call
OK, but what about the best football song? Well, I only can think of one, so it’s Fountains of Wayne’s All Kinds of Time in a blowout.
I don’t consider Jerry Maguire to be a football movie. It’s. Rom-com, about a sports agent and a single mother, with a tiny bit of football sprinkled in there.If this is a football movie, ET is a Halloween movie
It was definitely a stealth rom-com. Some of the marketing at the time made it look like a football movie that your girlfriend would like. Suckers!
ET is a Halloween movie
Yeah. By that standard, I think Dazed and Confused is a great football movie.
I agree wholeheartedly. I like Jerry Maguire a lot and actually saw it several times in the theater when it came out (shut up). But it’s not a football movie.
Definitely not a football movie.
It’s not precisely a “rom-com” either.
My father went to Notre Dame on a football scholarship in the 1930s. He quickly learned that being the toughest lineman in Des Moines didn’t count for much at the Golden Dome. Realizing that he was only ever going to be cannon fodder for the first team and also knowing that even the scrubs were expected to put football ahead of academics, he left after his freshman year.Needless to say, he loathed Rudy .BTW, Joliet has a population of 150,000. It is in no way a “small town.”
No love for The Program?
I breaks my mind that you have a “best football movies” list and leave off two of the greatest:Necessary RoughnessThe Replacements
Oof, The Blind Side. The only actually moving part of that film is the closing credits with the real life footage of Roger Godell announcing Baltimore’s selection of Oher. Sandra Bullock is fun and looks damn good, though.I know it’s beyond cliche to say at this point, but the book is soooo much better because it uses Oher’s story as one among several examples of how student athletes are treated in (and before) college. For instance it’s commonplace for players to finish out their eligibility well short of having enough credits to graduate, and after they play their last game just pack up their stuff and go home. The end. The movie had the NCAA investigation as a secondary plot thread but that was a big part of what Lewis wrote about regarding Oher. It’s even worse in basketball with AAU coaches and families essentially adopting top prep players then discarding them if they don’t pan out as D-1 prospects.
Same goes for Friday Night Lights. The book is an indictment of HS football culture in Texas. The movie is a glorification of it.
I thought it was pretty evenhanded, especially in how it portrayed the pressure put on a bunch of kids by adults who should have known better. My wife’s uncle played at Odessa Permian and confirmed basically the whole town showed up on Fridays. And that was before the oil bust of the 1980s chronicled in the book, when the entire town was suddenly impoverished and HS football was all they had to rally around. But the movie also captured how that pressure forced the kids to look to each other for support. I do agree the book is far more critical of the town.
Fair points, I’m probably being too hard on the movie…but my understanding is the author was not welcome in that town after the book came out, whereas they probably have a statue of Peter Berg there.
Berg and Buzz Bissinger, author of the book, are actually cousins. Though I guess they had a bit of a falling out when Berg asked Mitt Romney to stop using “Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose,” as a slogan… Bissinger being a Romney supporter.
I’m not sure if it really goes glorify it.I’ve always seen the end of the film as showing how disposable these boys are as their names get simply plucked off the board and tossed in the box the day after they lose the big game.That and finding out that most of them (at least at the time of the film’s release) were living difficult lives (Boobie Miles who has been in and out of prison or Ivory Christian who grew up to be a long-haul truckie) or were still living in Texas (Winchell and Billingsly). Chavez went to Harvard and became a lawyer but eventually ended up back in Odessa as well (and suspended from being a lawyer for many years).
FWIW. Weird that ‘Heaven Can Wait’ is a titular remake of 1943’s ‘Heaven Can Wait’, but has little in common plot-wise. 1941’s ‘Here Comes Mr. Jordan’ is actually the original and James Mason’s character in HCW is named Mr. Jordan and the plot of that is about a boxer and not a quarterback.
To clarify: 1941’s HCMJ, of which 1978’s HCW is a remake, is about a boxer (Robert Montgomery, for those keeping score), while 1943’s HCW (starring Don Ameche and Gene Tierney) is about a guy recounting his life story as an entry interview to hell (yes, it’s a comedy). All three fine films. Now, to make it more confusing, the original source material for HCW-43 is a play called “Birthday” while the original source for HCMJ and HCW-78 is a play called, you guessed it, “Heaven Can Wait” (and it seems it had a couple of other titles in different productions, just to make this more confusing).
I’m surprised The Program didn’t make the list, but then again The Blind Side is there so this list is pretty bad.
100% agree on The Program. Almost a documentary of sorts for big time college football in the 80s & 90s. Such a great movie.
No place at the table for Lattimer this time :((I only watched The Program for the first time a while back when the podcast Action Boyz covered it. I was not expecting the entire thing to be built around an out-and-out indictment of the NCAA system, especially not from a 30-year-old film…nor that it would still fall prey to sports movie cliches for a few character stories, even as it’s saying “This entire organization is corrupt and college sports are an organized crime that we are all complicit in.”)
Friday Night Lights the TV show is a million times better than the movie.
Rudy sucks and it’s unbelievable that The Replacements could be left off a football movie list.
I watched Knute Rockne, All American once. It’s not a bad film, but I think it’s greatest contribution to world culture is this bit from a different movie:
Yessir! +!
Sorta fun story: I was sorta-kinda-technically in Jerry McGuire. I was attending Arizona State at the time and they had a call to make 50 bucks as a background extra for the stadium shots (at the time, the Cardinals played in ASU’s stadium, so it was a short walk from my dorm). It was interesting, at least, to see how it was put together. There were about 300 of us that were moved around the stadium via some lady giving instructions with a megaphone so we’d be in the background of the Cuba Gooding Jr. playing football shots. We were told to act like we were cheering, but we shouldn’t make any noise. It was ALL DAY of shuffling from one part of the stadium to another, sitting around for an hour and then, “okay, you’re fans, be excited but when Cuba crosses the goal line go crazy, okay cue crowd, and . . . action!” Ten seconds later, “And Cut. Okay, reset.” And we go to some other part of the stadium and do it again.
Few movies have made me ugly-cry like the end of Undefeated did.
Undefeated wasn’t just nominated, it won the freaking Oscar for best doc that year. C’mon.
School Ties anyone?
There’s more football in that than there is in Jerry Maguire
Words cannot adequately capture just how bad this list is.
Future FNL TV cast member Connie Britton also stars.As did Brad Leland, later everybody’s favorite “we need a Jumbotron for the school stadium!” Buddy Gerrity. Series definitely would be #1 out of everything listed here, although the movie D-Linemen doing the handslap after the injury and the high school kegger are dead on.I’ve been told by former players that the biggest difference between the NFL and college is speed, especially when it’s a huge guy that part of your brain keeps insisting can’t logically move around like that. I suspect that’s probably a major reason why the on-the-field action in all of these just feels a bit off after you’ve watched hundreds or thousands of hours of the real thing.
That is 100% it. I coach college track. I have NEVER seen an actor run fast naturally. Non-athletes have an idea of what it should look like, and most people have no idea the difference.
Everyone likes different things, but Waterboy is just something I could never understand. I just did not find one thing about it funny.
Rudy was offsides.
C’mon, everyone knows the best football movie is when NBC cuts away from a Raiders-Jets game in order to broadcast Heidi.
Re Rudy: “and he was only half the size of the other players”Not exactly. Technically, he was “5 foot nothin’, a hundred and nuthin’.”Also, I went to Notre Dame and lore is that the real Rudy was actually a big ol’ dick.Anyway, I’m surprised The Replacements didn’t make this list. Granted I haven’t seen most of these, but I thought that was a pretty good one. Keanu and Gene Hackman, come on!
The fact that Necessary Roughness and The Replacements isn’t on this list is a goddamn travesty.
I mean, look at the cast of Necessary Roughness: Scott Bakula (who, despite his time in the NCIS vaccum, is a national treasure), Jason Bateman, Sinbad, Rob Schneider, prime Kathy Ireland, Hector Elizondo, Robert Loggia, and Larry Miller. That cast was fucking stacked. And that’s not even counting the famous cameos on the prison team: Evander Holyfield, Dick Butkus, Earl Campbell, Roger Craig, Tony Dorsett, Ed “Too Tall” Jones, Jim Kelly, Jerry Rice, Herschel Walker (regrettably), and fucking Randy White.
Yep, both are great. Replacements especially was very funny and also known for being a Keanu Reeves movie where he actually looked like he was having a blast in a rare comedy not named Bill and Ted
Scott Bakula was even great in Major League: Back to the Minors, especially the speech he gives at the end.
little giants is the best football movie
Someone needs “The Annexation of Puerto Rico” shoved up their ass right now for leaving off “Little Giants.”
Gateway football movies for kids is important. I’d sign off on Little Giants
Bend It Like Beckham or GTFO.
God this list blows. Longest Yard and North Dallas Forty should be #1 and #2 in some order.
I submit ‘Lucas’.
I get this one confused with Rudy.
Anybody remember “Best of Times”?
EXCELLENT call back and 100% should be on this list. Football as metaphor for the path not taken.
Yes, but I can understand why most people don’t.
Was scrolling to see if someone mentioned this.
tremendous pull! one of those movies that was on HBO all the time when i was in my early teens. i’ve probably seen it 100 times, which is kind of sad
He’s wearing the WHITE SHOES!I remember it for the hilarity of the wives making the their husbands have an apology dinner for them for their screw ups…..only for them to realize too late that they did it on Monday Night Football Night and the 2 devise a way to make sure they can watch the game without letting their wives know they are watching it.
I don’t like this list either, (The Waterboy over Invincible? Jesus.) But I wouldn’t sign off on some of the other suggestions either. Necessary Roughness is not good. Hot take: The Program isn’t great either. Might as well suggest Leatherheads and Gridiron Gang. I do agree about The Replacements though. On a “best of” list, popularity should account for something. But I am STUNNED at the level of hate Rudy is getting.
Uh, The Program?And someone down below mentioned The Best of Times with Kurt Russell and Robin Williams. That should 100% be on this list.
Not sure it counts as a movie, but it cracked me up as a kid.
Where are Varsity Blues and The Program? Both are top notch football movies.
The fact that y’all not only didn’t put The Replacements as #1, but left it off the list entirely tells me everything I need to know about the current state of the AV Club. It was fun while it lasted.
Someone has to explain the love for “The Replacements” (the movie, not the incredible band of course) I found the movie SO corny and lame.
It’s the classic underdog comedy like Major League or Dodgeball. It’s well executed, the cast has great chemistry, and it has a fair number of gags such as the kicker smoking or the hiring strippers as cheerleaders that would never happen, but are fun to watch nonetheless.
Give it credit for taking a strong union busting stance at least. Not often the scabs are the heroes.
Oh. My. God. I’ve checked the list 4 times.
I suppose there are movies that shouldn’t be on the list, and movies that should, but I’ll leave that to other people. Me? I’m just glad that Horse Feathers AND The Freshman are on here. Good move.And if you’re going to put Black Sunday on? What about Two Minute Warning…?
#1 The Longest Yard.Caretaker: Well, there he is. Connie Shokner, baddest cat in the joint. Even the guards are scared of him. He killed three people on the outside and two since he’s been in here.Crewe: Yeah, that karate’s some bad stuff.Caretaker: Oh, that was before he learned karate.#2 North Dallas Forty
Maxwell: That’s not gross! Shit, gross is when you go to kiss your grandpa good night and he sticks his tongue down your throat. That’s gross!
My gosh, both “Longest Yards” are better than “Rudy.”
North Dallas Forty was a great book, but as a movie it was a huge disappointment. They completely whiffed on that one.All the Right Moves was a terrific small film, but Cruise’s character was not the star of the team. Not sure what the writer saw when he watched it, but that was false.
I think that it is generous of you to grant that an AV Club writer has seen most of these films. Also: what does the title North Dallas Forty literally refer to?
Bizarre first sentence. No idea what you mean but I do assume that the writer would have seen most of these films, if not all.North Dallas Forty is a title that has several meanings. The team played in the north part of Dallas, but the black players were forced back in the day to live in South Dallas. So the author was annoyed with that and made that the book title (back then rosters were 40 players).I had also heard that it was reference to the post civil war order where slaves were allocated 40 acres and a mule. Gent probably was making a reference to the players being slaves.In any event, the book by Peter Gent is a classic. The film is not. It’s good, but should have been great.
Perhaps you missed the old days around here, with a writing staff that had a much greater depth of knowledge of their topics.
Gent’s other football book is much different but still entertaining. The Franchise. Never gets mentioned much anymore.
Agree. It was very good and I think I may still own it.
I thought the film did a very nice job at capturing all that I liked about the classic novel(?). It’s my favorite football film. It would’ve been interesting to see what kind of reactions it would’ve gotten if the movie had kept the book’s shocking ending. I understand why the filmmakers wouldn’t go there. I love the film without it nevertheless. I’m sure the NFL hated it.
In the book, the team is the North Dallas Bulls.
Mac Davis was great though! He really should have had a bigger movie career.
Mac Davis and Jerry Reed, 2 great musicians turned great character actors. Davis wrote for Elvis and had the mandatory 70s variety show.
No Little Giants?
Am I the only one who remembers that one?
What about Draft Day?
25 years later my dad still makes “You can do it!” Jokes from the Waterboy
“Horse Feathers” is almost 100 years old and still hilarious.“Why don’t you go home to your wife? I’ll tell you what, I’ll go home to your wife, and outside of the improvement she’ll never know the difference.”
Wildcats? Football. Wildcats.Football. Wildcats….
Even though the sequel is not football-centric, the listing for “The Freshman” should have at least mentioned “The Sin of Harold Diddlebock.” Legendary comedy director Preston Sturges gave “The Freshman” a talkie sequel 22 years later, opening it with footage from the original movie. It’s not considered one of Sturges’ more successful efforts — and I actually haven’t seen it — but it’s something of a curiosity as a talkie sequel to a silent classic.
The Blind Side is not good. Sandra Bullock cannot teach a person to play football simply by slapping his shoulder pads and chanting “Protect his blind side! Test says you’re good at protecting shit?”
Fees like a list made by people who aren’t all that into sports movies.
What % of this list was written by Chat GPT? Are you even a real person or just a fake byline? The whole thing is way in the uncanny valley.
Best football movies and no Invictus!?
I see that the error of not including The Replacements has not been corrected.
Now drop Jerry Maguire which a) sucks, and b) is not a football movie, and add The Last Boy Scout.
I like Jerry Maguire a lot (what can I say, I’m a big sap) but I concur that it’s not really a football movie.
No Radio?
Hell, Wildcats can’t get no love?? Goldie, Woody, Wesley!!
That’s ok. Just wait till games stall because of contract talks. You’ll have to call in the Replacements. Shane Falco is ready for a second chance at glory.
anyone who thinks rudy is a better movie than north dallas forty (or like 15 movies on this list) has no business writing about films for a living. what a crap list.
Rudy is an awful film, Ruettiger is an awful person, and everyone on that team hated him. Not, mind you, because of some macho exclusivism, but because he was widely known to be an insufferable prick.
The Blind Side getting flack for being a “white savior” tale is fucking absurd.
